Details about the project are pretty scarce at this stage, but the movie is expected to be a two-hour feature – although it’s not yet known whether Gilligan will be making a TV movie or a theatrically-released film.

However, The Hollywood Reporter claimed that the title is Greenbrier and the plot will follow ‘the escape of a kidnapped man and his quest for freedom.’

Sounds intriguing.

Cranston added: ‘It’s a great story, and there’s a lot of people who felt that they wanted to see some sort of completion to some of these storylines that were left open.

This idea, from what I was told, gets into at least a couple of the characters who were not completed as far as their journey.

‘I can’t wait to see all those people again … even if I just come by to visit!’

Following the success of the series’ spin-off Better Call Saul, Gilligan has previously opened up about wanting to explore other characters.

He said during a Comic Con panel: ‘I think there’s an excellent chance of any or all of these folks showing up…[but] you will not see Walt or Jesse in Season 4 of Better Call Saul.

‘We would be sorely remiss if we didn’t have these guys on the show before it ended.’
